Title: Humanized antibodies to fc receptors for immunoglobulin g on human mononuclear phagocytes
Inventor: TEMPEST PHILIP R
IPC: C07K19/00
Filed: 1993-11-04
Granted: 2007-04-17
Abstract: Humanized antibodies are described which are specific to an Fc receptor (FcR).  The humanized antibodies have at least a portion of a complementarity determining region (CDR) derived from a non-human antibody, e.g. murine, with the remaining portions being human in origin. The use of humanized antibodies rather than murine antibodies inhuman therapy should alleviate some of the problems associated with the use of some murine monoclonal antibodies because only the substituted CDRs will be foreign to a human's immune system. The humanized antibodies can be used in the same manner as their murine counterparts.

Filed: 1995-08-16
Granted: 1999-01-26
Abstract: An excimer laser beam irradiation apparatus capable of processing a workpiece optimally with an excimer irradiation beam even when intensity distribution of the excimer laser beam undergone multiple reflections is non-uniform.  A patterning mask has light-transmissive portions for allowing the excimer laser beam to pass through and a reflecting layer for reflecting it.  A high reflectivity mirror disposed in opposition to the reflecting layer reflects the excimer laser beam reflected from the reflecting layer toward the patterning mask.  An imaging lens images a pattern of the excimer laser beam transmitted through the patterning mask onto a workpiece for irradiation thereof.  A workpiece moving mechanism  and a mask moving mechanism move the workpiece and the mask moving mechanism, respectively.  A control unit controls the workpiece moving mechanism  and the mask moving mechanism  such that the patterning mask and the workpiece are displaced along a same axis synchronously with each other in a scan moving direction which coincides with a direction in which the excimer laser beam shifts positionally while being reflected between the patterning mask and the reflecting means, for thereby allowing the workpiece to be scanned with the excimer laser beam.  The workpiece can be processed uniformly and stably in accordance with a pattern of the patterning mask with high accuracy and reliability.
